| This course is designed to prepare Christian leaders for social justice advocacy in the context of the |
| global struggle for human rights. Drawing upon Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen’s “capabilities |
| approach” to human rights, the course presents a Freirean model for social justice advocacy that |
| recognizes the local, national and international context of advocacy work and explores creative |
| partnerships with other organizations and community groups on particular advocacy issues. |
| Candidates will grapple with four major critical global or citywide issues causing urban poverty in the |
| 21st Century from a theological perspective. (e.g. transnational capitalism; urban environmental |
| degradation; war, terrorism and peace, global poverty, and slavery). |
| undertaking this course will be able to develop a biblical approach to advocacy for land and entering into |
| land rights conflicts, being familiar with the processes of obtaining land rights documents and resolving |
| land rights disputes within their particular city, and understanding progressions that occur internaitonally |
| in obtaining just housing. |
| This course will enable candidates to understand and assess the dynamics of various disaster |
| situations, the protocols for responding, organizational structures, planning and communication tools. |

| sufferers. An understanding and a model of the social, mental, behavioural, and spiritual rehabilitation |
| of HIV-AIDS sufferers will be developed. The social conditions that caused HIV-AIDS will be |
| researched, analysed and evaluated. This will lead to the development of a model of spirituality |
| needed to cope with ministry issues, a theological foundation for these processes and a strategy for |
| the palliative care of HIV-AIDS sufferers will be developed. |
